For the past 3 sessions, Judge John Creuzot has been instrumental in guiding many of TCJC’s adult policy recommendations.

We also want to recognize all the individuals who we have recently presented awards to, including policy-makers, key staff, advocates, and practitioners throughout the state. You are all an inspiration to us in our pursuit of real solutions to the problems facing Texas ’ criminal and juvenile justice systems.
Finally, we would like to take this opportunity to thank Bonita White for the many years she has devoted to community supervision. We wish her all the best in her retirement, and we congratulate Carey Welebob on her position as the new CJAD Director.
